Chapter 120 The Fourth Member of the Villa
“Actually, it’s not early today, so let’s talk about it tomorrow. Since tomorrow is the last day of free time, I will take you to experience the charm of the extraordinary world,” Teacher Ji said after checking the time, as her purpose for coming here had already been achieved.
“Hey? Wait a minute, Teacher, you haven’t told me what your research group is about!” I quickly asked Teacher Ji, who was about to leave. After all, if I didn’t clarify this, wouldn’t I be selling myself directly?
Even if I die, I should at least die understanding, right?
“Since you mention it, this is indeed a problem. After all, I just reported this group to the academy yesterday, and you are the only member of this group at the moment. I am the leader. Since that’s the case, then I will leave this question to you. You propose it, and I will conduct a feasibility assessment. Is that okay? Xiao Han, do you have too much wariness toward me? This will really consume my goodwill toward you, and I hope you understand~”
“This…”
I wanted to say something, but for a moment I didn’t know how to speak. Suddenly being told by Teacher Ji that I was too wary of her, I had no way to refute her.
But now she had given me the choice, which was also a way to alleviate my wariness. This research group would definitely not conduct major research based on my suggestions; it should just be a starting point.
It should only be her way of soothing me in the early stages, but no matter the reason, the benefits must be secured. Since she has fully entrusted this to me, I would not be polite to her.
If you ask me what I want to know the most right now, it would naturally be about the Spellbook and Spirit Vision.
If possible, I hope to disassemble a Spellbook from the perspective of my Spirit Vision to understand the underlying principles.
In an ideal scenario, if I could fully comprehend it, I would master the composition of spells and the internal logical principles of Spellbooks, as well as… the correct usage of the tool Spirit Vision!
What I care about even more is how this method of Spirit Vision is used.
Understanding the Spellbook is just an excuse or a side note; I want to take advantage of this operation to familiarize myself with how to use my advantage reasonably, quickly, and conveniently.
With such simple thoughts, this plan has already been set. There is no backup plan. If Teacher Ji denies my proposal, then I would express that I have nothing to say. If we don’t conduct this research, then the group research will proceed according to her ideas.
Or she might actively kick me out of the group, but I initially judged that she would not do that.
I even thought this was the plan that Teacher Ji hoped I would propose since I already had no other options, right?
Spirit Vision is my greatest utilitarian value, oh, and there’s also the Extraordinary Knowledge.
After fully reviewing the information related to Earth Veins, I prepared to get up and head back, and I also brought back some dinner.
However, as soon as I arrived at the villa, I saw that the lights were on brightly inside the villa. Although it was just around dinner time, isn’t it still too early to have so many lights on?
What a waste of magic power!
I took out my room card and opened the villa door, and then I saw three people in the living room watching TV and chatting happily.
My arrival suddenly created an awkward atmosphere, with only the comedy on TV playing out an old storyline for me.
In the living room, I understood that Dongli Yiren had returned early, and I understood that Guan Qiuling came back faster than the senior, but who was this person with pink big waves and revealing clothing?
“Um… Hi~ You must be my third roommate, right?” Finally, it was the pink-haired girl who spoke first. “Let me introduce myself; I am Hong Chanyi. According to your sequence, I should be the fourth new student to move in here~”
“Hello, my name is Yang Yuelan.”
Although I was also surprised, since she said she was part of this villa, I couldn’t say anything. I thought she was Guan Qiuling’s companion brought from somewhere. After all, her clothes really looked very similar to those worn by the seniors I saw on the Street of Elegance… really very similar…
“Hey~ Since they all call you Sister Xiao Han, can I also call you Sister Xiao Han? Hehe, the three of us were boys before, so please take care of us in the future~” While saying this, Hong Chanyi placed her arm around Dongli Yiren’s shoulder like a close brother, while Guan Qiuling seemed a bit shy and quickly moved around.
“Ah?”
I raised my eyebrows in shock, not only surprised that Hong Chanyi easily admitted it, but also puzzled about how she convinced Guan Qiuling to acknowledge she was a boy?
I looked at Guan Qiuling in confusion, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet my gaze.
“Hey? Sister Xiao Han, you still don’t know? Tell me, which of my two brothers has been hiding it from you? I can help lecture them and provide psychological counseling~”
“No, I already know. If I had to say I didn’t know, then it would only be you,” I quickly waved my hand to refuse the suggestion. “May I ask if you already got the room card but haven’t come here?”
“Hmm? Oh? How did you know that?” Obviously, Hong Chanyi didn’t expect me to ask this suddenly; her tone was no longer as confident as it was before.
“Is it really you? What have you been doing all this time?” I raised an eyebrow, not expecting that this Hong Chanyi was indeed my missing roommate. Where else could she be living?
Could it be that she was sleeping on the street?
I doubt it…
“I… Well, I went to work. They provide food and accommodation. Ah, that’s about it, haha… That’s not important, let’s change the subject,” Hong Chanyi hurriedly explained, but her explanation was very perfunctory, and she even started to change the topic directly.
“Alright, after all, it’s a personal matter, I won’t ask anymore. Forget it, tomorrow is the official start of school. By the way, have you checked which class you’re assigned to? Have you contacted the teachers?” I could tell that Hong Chanyi was trying to hide something, but it wouldn’t be good to pursue it directly; after all, curiosity could be deadly. If my relationship with my roommates becomes awkward, my daily life would be very boring.
Although my relationship with both roommates is already very awkward.
“Ah? Class assignments? Where do I check that?” Hong Chanyi quickly picked up on my topic, although it seemed she was eager to move past the previous topic, she really seemed not to know about this matter.
“How can anyone not know?” I looked at Hong Chanyi, puzzled, as the notification on the academy phone had been sent out for so long. Even if she didn’t know, shouldn’t she be anxious by now? Shouldn’t she ask someone?
To not know about class assignments while staying in the academy for so long, she must be very carefree.
My gaze turned to Dongli Yiren and Guan Qiuling, also inquiring.
“I’m in Class 105; I mentioned it before.” Dongli Yiren spoke first.
“I’m… in Class 55.” This was Guan Qiuling.
My gaze finally landed back on Hong Chanyi, as if asking, how did you not know about this?
Are you really a student of the Witch Academy?
